Over the course of a year, the Sun passes all the constellations of the Zodiac to complete The Circle of Life. Comprising 36 designs, Royal Copenhagen’s zodiacs are available by gender as well as by individual star sign.

The female zodiac is both sensual and innocent. Designed by the Danish artist Christel Marott, who rose to fame with her magazine illustrations, the figurines convey vibrancy and beauty in unglazed inky black or velvety white porcelain.  Christel’s signature designs depict alluring girls with long legs and a characteristic, vibrant sensuality. They are level headed and provocative at the same time.

Energy and charisma are captured in the powerful male sculptures, created by artist Pia Langelund. Pia graduated from the Kolding College of Danish Art and Design and worked as a sculptor in bronze, earthenware, iron and granite before joining Royal Copenhagen in 1991.

For Pia, the driving force is the sculptural challenge itself, and one of the recurring themes in her work is the strength and movement of the body in both animals and humans. The close attention to muscles, movements and attitudes bring her sculptures to life in a very special way.
